Habits and Hustle · Episode 395: Dr. Abe Malkin on Next-Gen Health: NAD Drip Therapy, Ketamine and Environmental Testing · 5 Nov 2024 podcast

Yeah.

it is so basically just at a high level the way the ketamine works is it's a dissociative so when given either orally through a lozenge or iv or intramuscularly it causes a sort of self-limited 40 45 minute experience that you can have someone go through and it really helps them break negative thought patterns in their brain and then rewire their neural pathways through neuroplasticity in a healthier way

So let's say, for example, you had someone who had PTSD and they've never thought about a certain experience they had, which obviously triggers them and causes them to have trauma. They can now access that thought in that controlled space and rewire their thinking about it. So you can imagine it's like having years of therapy to process something in one setting.

And so when done properly with professional guidance, it can be extremely impactful. Same thing with anxiety and depression. If you have these negative thought loops that you can't get out of, ketamine therapy can help break those thought loops and rewire your thinking in a more healthy way.

So there's different ways of taking ketamine. You can do lozenge therapy, which is like self-administered and usually you do it at your home or, you know, another setting like that with or without therapeutic support. And then the more potent way of doing it is via IV or intramuscular therapy.

And that's when you have a provider there, a doctor, a nurse practitioner who's administering the treatment and kind of guiding you through it.

It's cumulative. You can have benefit from just one session, but a lot of the studies have shown it's between four to eight sessions over a two month period that really gets the most benefit, especially when combined with elements that help you improve your mindfulness. So journaling, meditation, breath work to help you reframe your mindset in a more healthy way.

Now that you've created that dissociative effect that allows you to recreate your neural pathways.

I have, and it's wonderful.

I've done several lozenge treatments, and I've done one intramuscular treatment. Intramuscular treatment is a lot more potent, so it was really helpful for me to have a provider there with me to guide me through it.

Yeah, but I wasn't in the right state of mind to provide assistance to myself at the time.

Yeah, it's a gluteal injection in your buttock. And it's essentially the same thing, about a 40, 45 minute experience.

So you'll feel fine an hour later. You can go about your day. But the effect can be life-changing. If you reprocess thoughts, if you have more clarity on events in your life, if you can reframe your thinking about things, you can have long-lasting effects in the same way that you could from therapy, which helps you reframe your thinking about certain things.

So again, all of this to say stress, anxiety, depression are one of the biggest contributing factors to aging and lack of longevity. So there are other ways to treat longevity other than the typical things that are out there that people are talking about.

So I think earlier in the podcast, we talked about some of the factors that cause reduced NAD levels, stress, anxiety, toxins. As you can imagine, people with addiction issues are encountering a higher level of toxins than the regular, the general public.

So giving them NAD injections, niagen infusions can really help them replete those neurotransmitters that are lost and then the NAD that's lost in a way which is probably more impactful for them than someone in the general public who isn't encountering that level of toxin.

So NAD can help anyone. And I think it would probably be more helpful for someone with addiction problems, just given their bodies, the harmful effects of toxins on the body. And so rather than just focusing on traditional pharmaceutical medications, which can be toxic in their own right, it's a nice adjunct treatment to pharmacological treatment for anxiety and for mental health issues.

Well, I mean, I think testing is a part of this too. We've talked a lot about treatment. So let's take a step back and think about making a customized treatment plan for yourself. So I'm a pretty healthy guy. I've been told for years I'm healthy. I actually just did an environmental toxin test and found out that I have mold toxicity, heavy metals, microplastics.

And so my treatment plan, it's not a... complex treatment plan in the sense of like novel treatments, but it's treating the root cause of what's going on inside my body. So for me, I take a binder, which helps bind the plastics. And then I go into a sauna three times a week to help get rid of the plastics.

So I think rather than only thinking about what's the latest and greatest treatment that's out there, think about what can I do to actually treat what's going on inside my body and testing is important.
